Introduction to Algorithms - I was not a CS major and this took a while

Generative Deep Learning - this one also took a while to get through- it was worth it though to get a better understanding of AI and how to create me own code to use databases to generate stuff

Godel Escher Bach - This was was way to much fun and also very dense

​

The Stuff of thought by Steven Pinker - this one was also alot to think about and deconstruct your thought patterns bit by bit
